[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1288922, member: 97196"] Some great suggestions so far. These are some steps that seem to make significant improvements to my accuracy. Brass should consistently provide the same neck friction/tension and thus one of the main benefits of annealing or using newer/quality brass. I like to run my brass through a vibratory tumbler immediately prior to loading regardless of what other cleaning has been performed to help assure consistent neck cleaning/friction. Every effort to assure the bullet starts out straight, in the middle of the bore/throat will cut down on flyers (turn the necks and make certain the bullet is seated strait in the neck). I take detailed notes of what each change makes and only change one loading parameter at a time. I only load the number of rounds necessary for the current season since I will likely come up with minor improvements before the next season. I take the rifle in the condition in which it was dialed in so I don't clean the barrel prior to going on the hunt. [/QUOTE]
